Farewell to Exchange Student Yann Wulff Exchange student Yann Wulff bid Club 24 adieu on Tuesday with a great power point and summary of his year in America. Club 24 thanks Tim Brown and his family for hosting Yann (and his many friends) for Yann's final six months. Welcome New Members! Two new members were pinned recently. Floyd Hatch at left joins new members Mary Ann Nations and Jon Hatch, with Scott Rosenbush. Lance Allred’s Presentation by Floyd Hatch 6' 11" Lance Allred spoke at a recent Rotary lunch and discussed his ideas regarding growing up as the grandson of a polygamist prophet, playing college and professional basketball, and becoming a best selling author. Lance described life's decisions as making "a choice" not as something that he had to do. This is what pushed him to become the first deaf basketball player in the NBA. 2 We wish the very best for Lance. Welcome Great New Member Khosrow B. Semnani Khosrow B. Semnani is an Iranian-American industrialist, community leader, and philanthropist. He is the founder of Envirocare (now Energy Solutions), the first privately-owned low-level nuclear waste disposal facility in the United States, which he sold in 2004. Today his business, S. K. Hart Management, manages a diversified global investment portfolio.

Born October 16, 1914, in Salt Lake County, to Myron Clark and Marie Boshard Tanner, the second of six children. He was raised in Salt Lake City, graduated from East High School and the University of Utah where he was president of Pi Kappa Alpha. Aside from his many accomplishments, Norman was known for his love of life. His warmhearted exuberance affected all those he came in contact with, and he made friends in all his pursuits, embracing every challenge with gusto, optimism and charm. Through his hard work, his infectious enthusiasm and his vision he was instrumental in the growth of the O.C.Tanner Company from its humble beginnings (when he joined his Uncle Obert Tanner in 1938 in the basement of his grandmother's home) to a national, then an international company. He loved his work and his kind open personality helped make him an extremely successful salesman and businessman: a true entrepreneur. Norm was in the ROTC at the University of Utah and Norm had a passion for sports and the outdoors. volunteered for active duty after Pearl Harbor.

He gave generously to cultural, civic, and Club on the next page. educational institutions throughout his life. 5 Norm Tanner’s Legacy Continues June 21, 2016 Dear Salt Lake Rotary Club, I received a check from Norm Tanner’s Trust in the mail today in the amount of $62,500! What a wonderful surprise. This is a portion of the dividends earned by his trust following his death. His daughter, Deone Hilger, says in her letter that we will receive a similar (although somewhat smaller) check each year. The amount of this check includes a little more than one year’s worth of dividends. The amount will also vary according to what the dividends are in a particular year. She indicates that she would like to meet with the board next year at about this time when she is in town to deliver the next check in person. Paul Durham Durham Jones & Pinegar, P.C. Give a Legacy Gift of Your Own There are perhaps only a few who can be as generous in giving a legacy gift to Club 24 as our old friend, Norm Tanner, but many of us can contribute something. The example of Norm and so many others before him can inspire the rest of us to set aside what we can while doing our estate planning.

Individual and focus group interviews were conducted over a 2-year period. The researcher/author used voices of gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, and straight students to relate the experiences unique to each participant. In addition, data from media and spoken transcripts,-video tapes of news reports, grade records, and the GSA advisor's personal observations were analyzed and organized into a framework of seven categories of impact. Results support previous research that Alliances positively impact academic performance, school/social/family relationships, comfort level with sexual orientation, development of strategies to handle assumptions of heterosexuality, sense of physical safety, increased perceived ability to contribute to society, and an enhanced sense of belonging to school community. Implications for educators and questions for further research are included. (Contains 37 references.)

  • East High School Salt Lake City School District Salt Lake City, Utah Loss Event: Storm and Flood Damage C a S E S T U D Y
    East High School Salt Lake City School District Salt Lake City, Utah Loss Event: Storm and Flood Damage C A S E S T U D Y In the early morning hours in July, over 2.5 inches of rain fell in the Salt Lake City area triggering a flash flood that overwhelmed drainage systems and caused extensive damage to homes and businesses. East High School, the iconic school used to film Disney Channel's beloved High School Musical trilogy, was inundated with water. The gymnasium where “Get’cha Head in the Game” was filmed and the cafeteria known for the scene “Stick to the Status Quo” were both flooded. When BELFOR arrived on site, the front parking lot was covered with five feet of water. The entire basketball court had two inches of water. The wrestling room and batting cages were under 2.5 feet of water. The kitchen was destroyed. The commons area, weight rooms, locker rooms, and numerous classrooms were damaged. In total, over 200,000 square feet of the school was flooded. After meeting with district officials, BELFOR was notified that classes were scheduled to resume from summer break in three weeks. To prevent further damage, within the hour, BELFOR had a team on site extracting water out of the wrestling room, parking lots, and basement areas. Simultaneously, demolition of all the affected building material (drywall, insulation, carpet) started. BELFOR called in its team of repair contractors and the race to rebuild and restore the school was underway. At its peak, BELFOR had more than 140 specialists working on the project -- 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, to make the 3-week deadline.

  • Krege Bowen Christensen Oct
    Krege Bowen Christensen Oct. 28, 1942 ~ Aug. 3, 2017 Salt Lake City, Utah - Krege Bowen Christensen peacefully returned to his Father in Heaven on August 3rd after a battle with heart-related complications. His heart was simply too magnificent to permit him to remain here any longer. He lived his life true to himself, his family, and his Savior. His preeminent legacy is expressing his unconditional love and support to each of his posterity at every interaction. His intelligence astounded us, sharing wisdom from hundreds of books including Ben Hur, his favorite. Krege is survived by his best friend, eternal companion, and earthly wife of fifty-three years, Judy Brown Christensen, and by their six children, Daniel (Kelly) Christensen, Adam (Cindy) Christensen, Mindy (Eddie) Simon, Tami (Chris) Whisenant, Megan (Clint) Christensen, and Marin (Dan) Bywater and his sister Karen "Cris" Coffey. They have 31 grandchildren and one great granddaughter. Dad was not a demanding father, but expected his children to work hard and be educated. Dad taught us to do our best and be honorable, but never take ourselves too seriously. Dad was born on October 28, 1942, in Provo, Utah, to A. Sherman and Lois Bowen Christensen. Most of his childhood was spent in Provo. At the age of 12 his father was appointed a US Federal District Judge, and they moved to Harvard Avenue in Salt Lake City. He graduated from East High School in 1960 then attended the University of Utah on a Track and Field scholarship. Dad quickly became one of the premier javelin throwers in the country, shattering several records including the U of U record (which he still holds after fifty years) and earning a preliminary invitation to the 1964 Olympics.
